Do Not Vote Because Your Vote Does Not Count

POTUS has been decided. I will vote but I plan on leaving that part of the ballot blank. Voting has always been important to me but this year I see thru the BS and I know what you say in your video is true. I'm only voting this election because I live in Colorado and legalizing marijuana is on the ballot and if there's any possibility its not "rigged", I want to get my "yes" vote in.

How can we tell they are being honost with the votes? Exactly we can't because the numbers can be manipulated without us even knowing it. People vote because it makes them feel powerful even though they are powerless to the outcome.

Hey, thanks for trying to destroy the Republic you worthless POS! While it's true that many of us in in states, like mine, New York, that are so controlled by the mafia, labor unions and other corrupt Democrats, that my vote for Romney will probably be a drop in the bucket. But there are about 10 swing states that are going to turn this election.

The electoral college is in place for a reason. Sometimes majority vote does not work as well, and you show a total lack of understanding of the electoral college. If we had total majority rule, we would be a true democracy, which we thankfully are NOT. We are a REPUBLIC.

I watched my elderly mother yesterday asking for her absentee ballot with tears in her eyes, thinking this may be her last election. If it's the last thing she does, she is going to vote Obama out of office. My mother's brothers all fought in WWII. Her family fed the hobo's in the 1930's, always giving out hot meals to whoever stopped by.They planted Victory gardens and saved milkweed pods to give to the military to make parachutes and military clothing. They kept scraps of tin foil and made balls of them for the military. They bought war bonds and had ration stamps. You think my mother is disillusioned? She knows more about this country and how it works than your sorry apathetic ass. She saw a President assassinated and watched Lee Harvery Oswald killed on live TV, then RFK. Many of her friends were killed in the Korean War. I urge everyone to have the balls of my MOTHER instead of this worthless OP who thinks, just because he has a right to free speech that my family members died so he could have - that he come on here and spread his basement blogging mentality that will destroy our country from within.

THE GREATEST GENERATION DID NOT GIVE UP, AND NEITHER SHOULD WE.

THIS IS FROM WWI, BUT WAS FOR ALL TIME

In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.

In His Name all things are possible. Protected by His Blood.1 Thessalonians 4:16-1716 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Oh good, you are only participating in the greatest and most privileged action in our democratic Republic because you want to smoke some weed, dumb yourself down, affect your entire nervous system into a borderline comatose state, drastically lower your sperm count, make yourself worthless to others because of a lack of clear thinking or the ability to have your motor nerves react quickly and be a worthless member of society. You can achieve the same affect by hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. I suggest you do that.

"The electoral college is in place for a reason. Sometimes majority vote does not work as well, and you show a total lack of understanding of the electoral college. If we had total majority rule, we would be a true democracy, which we thankfully are NOT. We are a REPUBLIC."

It won't do you a damned bit of good by staying in denial. Our whole system is breaking down because of systemic corruption. By staying in denial you and people like you are making matters worse. NOTHING is going to get fixed until we all start being honest with ourselves. WE'VE BEEN DUPED and until we address the corruption, America will continue in it's downward spiral.

How can we tell they are being honost with the votes? Exactly we can't because the numbers can be manipulated without us even knowing it. People vote because it makes them feel powerful even though they are powerless to the outcome.

Yes, her actions and tens of thousands like her helped us to win WWII. Are you really this stupid? Did you learn ANY American history? We may forfeit being a sovereign nation not because of external enemies, but because of planted agitators like YOU. YOU ARE A PLANTED AGITATOR, just like the Communist agitators that helped cause Union riots in the early 20th Century.

TELL ME SOMETHING, HOW CAN IT EVER BE GOOD TO URGE SOMEONE INTO NON-ACTION? How does that EVER benefit ANYBODY? This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. Maybe you should follow Ghandi who told the Jews they should just walk into the nazi's knives willingly.

DON'T VOTE DON'T VOTE DON'T VOTE - What kind of mantra is that???????? How about DON'T WAKE UP, DON'T EAT, DON'T GO TO WORK? All makes as much sense. You might as well lay down and die now because your apathy - or your supposed inside knowledge of how our country works - is KILLING US. You are a detriment to society, and if you can't get your ass up to vote, don't get your ass up for anything.

I usedto believe it was a "great and privileged action". Now I know better. Dog and pony show is a betterdescription. If you want to continue to believe in the liethat's your prerogative, pathetic as it may be.

As for what or what not marijuana does to me, well, I take it because helps me to keep from barfing my guts out every day due to the chemotherapy I'm on. Marijuana has tremendous health benefits and I damned sure don't believe the government has any business telling me what I can or cannot take as medicine. Marijuana is illegal because fools like you believe everything the television tells you. And because government agencies like the CIA make billions from illegal drug trafficking.

Sopken like a person who seeks to suppress the DEMS vote. The same voting machine rigging was present in the 2008 election. The reason OBAMA won was the overwhelming numbers of DEMS that voted overcame the rigged machines. Liberal talk show are encouraging 24 hours/day DEMS to vote and the machines will be overwhelmed again.

The system is rigged no matter where you live. In the United States, we have an electoral college voting system that is based on the number of delegates who vote for any given presidential nominee. The popular vote means nothing when you're voting for any given president.

Votes count; the only way to influence government is to vote and encourage others to vote the same way. Telling people NOT to vote makes the system unrepresentative and unstable. Nobody, repeat, nobody, wins if the government becomes unrepresentative.

So, if votes don't count, why would a company hired by the republican party in Florida, try to register victorious people who's address was a Shell Service Station. Seems like they were willing to risk quite a lot, for something that doesn't count. Some of these people might face jail time if the election board or states attorney decides prosecute.

yeah, like you've missed the TOTAL ACORN SCANDAL THAT AFFECTED ELECTIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. Or the Black Panthers intimidating people at polling places? The Democrats have a long and well established system of trying to steal votes/elections. It's a FACT. You must not read any news, and the Jeanine Garofalo type YouTube videos you rely on don't tell the whole truth do they? But we - the people - fight back. We will - and we will kick Obama's sorry butt out of office. We don't want food stamps, we don't want a nanny state, we don't want 16 Trillions dollars in debt, we don't want death panels - eugenics from health care rationing, we don't want to wait weeks/months for potentially life saving tests done by broken down medical equipment, we don't watch to watch the Middle East implode on itself like a study hall left without a teacher.

Which makes their position even more illegitimate as it shows people have no interest in supporting them, which is then grounds for removal of those in government power. When you vote, you only legitimize their position when your vote loses or wins. Take St Louis for example, the city is expanding new laws with only 1% voting, it's already raising eyebrows from many people and pissing them off. This is one of the crap they accused Saddam Hussein of doing being his tyrant self and some how it's not ok for him, but ok for the US.
